Italics are flashbacks. Nothing belongs to me.

"Cub it's time."

Rose sighed. She knew this was coming soon. The time to return to her original universe. No matter how much she looked forward to this she was scared as well. Having the time vortex running through your head doesn't really give any comfort. Seeing all that could be means you also see the all the possibilities that could go wrong.

"I know TARDIS I know."

"Rose! Get inside." A soldier yelled out Rose grabbed her gun and ran through the war zone.

She had been trying to stop a ruthless dictator on the planet Zianthra when things went horribly wrong. A resistance movement had interrupted and an all out civil war commenced. Rose felt guilty thinking she caused it and decided to stay. She finally knew how The Doctor felt when something went wrong. How heavy the deaths of innocent men, women, and children felt on your conscience. And she hated it. Hated it with all of her heart.

Rose was racing to the vehicle that would take them to a safe zone. A soldier was reaching his hand to for hers. She was almost there when she felt red hot heat and then there was blackness. She didn't know how long she stayed there, but she knew she wanted out. For there was something in the dark and it was coming. Maybe not for her, but it was there and she was scared of it. She woke with a gasp and sat up looking at her surroundings. She saw she was still at the battlefield just feet from where the escape vehicle used to be. Standing up she looked towards where she knew safe civilization was.

"Alright guess I'll head there by foot." Rose said with a sigh.

After having walked for 3 hours she finally reached the safe house. She could practically cry out of relief. Her whole body ached and she couldn't wait to lay down and sleep for a century. She opened the door and looked at the sight that met her. It was like another war zone. People were laying on the hospital beds dying, doctors were screaming for medicine, and nurses were scrambling to get what was required.

Rose heard a crash next to her and turned her head quickly to see what dropped. There she saw the soldier that was reaching for her.

"Rose?"

Her TARDIS was Rose's best friend in this universe. After her family died she felt alone. Like her heart would fall out her chest with grief. The TARDIS was there to fill that hole. She acted as a mother, sister, and a friend. In times of need she was there for her. When she was filled with a aching loneliness Rose knew she would comfort her. Now she would have to die and it was killing Rose. She would still be alive in her mind and soul, but she would have to give up her physical body to get Rose across the void. No matter how much Rose refused and argued for her not to do it she never listened.

Closing her eyes Rose spoke "I'm ready."

A.N: So here is Chapter 2. Sorry about it being so short. Play practices are running late for these next few weeks. When it's over however they will get longer. I promise. *kisses*
